Challenge
The main challenge was to meet the highly ambitious energy and sustainability targets (Zero Carbon) whilst ensuring no compromise to the design or exceeding cost. On the whole, the further into the design process you get, the more expensive it becomes to implement both carbon reduction and sustainability measures, as the opportunities available diminish; therefore our early involvement was essential.
